All is going swimmingly well on board for our passage from Wallis Island to Savusavu – Fiji.
As per the forecast we have had around 12-20kt winds from the ESE to SE with very low swells which has made for a VERY comfortable passage.
 
Our position at 9.00am this morning is 16:36.40S 179:05.26W and distance covered is 266NM with approx. 110NM to go so expect to arrive at Savusavu tomorrow morning. 
Not sure if they will clear us in on a Sunday so guessing that will happen on Monday morning.
 
We are just entering the Nanuka Passage and the the start of the reefs and islands to the NE of Fiji and have spotted the first bit of land which is the tiny island of Welagilala. 
 
It is hard to believe but it is just over 5 months since we departed Fiji on our way to Tonga.
